Tea Wish List

I've always been a big fan of loose leaf tea and I'm a sucker for all the fun and crazy flavours Davids Tea puts out. I also moved within 5 minutes of a Teavana and they have numerous samples in store and I've completely fallen in love with a few of their teas.

Currently, I have a fairly large tea wish list for both hot and cold consumption. I've set little goals for myself for when I can buy new tea for myself. Basically my cupboard is exploding with tea containers and I need to drink it up!

The thought of making a batch of this iced and adding in some red wine makes my mouth water.

Pink LemonadeWhen life gives you lemons, reach for this zippy hot pink blend. One sip is enough to turn any frown upside down. Not only is it packed with rooibos, hibiscus and other good-for-you stuff, it’s also unbelievably delicious any way you drink it. Served hot, it’s a tart and tasty throat soother. On ice, it’s an addictively tangy summer refresher. And if you really want to take it to the next level, freeze it into ice cubes and blend them up with some agave and a splash of vodka. Hello, grown-up slushie. I'm a sucker for anything pink lemonade and this tea is no exception!Strawberry ColadaPicture it. You’re sitting poolside, basking in the sunshine and sipping something cool and refreshing out of a coconut. Okay, so maybe the pool is a bit of a stretch. But with this sweet and fruity, retro cocktail-inspired tea, at least we’ve got that exotic drink covered. With strawberries, pineapple and coconut, it’s like a perfect summer getaway in a cup. Try it over crushed ice with a splash of rum. The only thing missing is the little paper umbrella.I received a sample of this tea in my last order and it was SO good. Very fruity and summery and it's a must for my tea cupboard!Green Popsicles Nordic MugUmm how cute is this mug?!

Teavana Wish List:Pineapple Berry Blue Tea BlendDazzingly delicious blend of Blueberry Bliss + Pineapple Kona Pop that bursts with the tangy-sweet flavor of hibiscus, citrus and bold berry. I've purchased this tea blend before and it's amazing as iced tea. I have sadly finished my container of this tea and desperately need to fill it back up. Raspberry Limeade Tea BlendCool off with Teavana's unique herbal tea take on refreshing raspberry limeade, a Summer favorite. Beautiful balanced myriad of berries with an elegant balsamic finish blended with a burst of lime.

They have this tea blend as a sample in store often and it's one of the best iced teas I've ever had. If you enjoy limeade, this is such a nice twist on it. I plan on buying a huge container of it very soon. Looking at this list makes me want some fresh iced tea... I think I'll go make a jug of it for tomorrow!xo Jen*All tea descriptions are from Davids Tea and Teavana sites*
